The Power of Blue
®
.
Portable in the shop or at the job
site—at 13.2 lb the shoulder strap
allows the end user to easily move
from location to location.
Best in class Stick arc
characteristics for those
demanding jobs.
Power Factor Corrected (PFC)
for optimum performance
especially on 115 V—reduces
nuisance breaker tripping.
Fan-On-Demand
power source
cooling system operates only when
needed, reducing noise, energy use
and the amount of contaminants
pulled through the machine.
Thermal overload protection with
indicator light helps prevent
machine damage if the duty cycle is
exceeded or airflow is blocked.
Single amperage range allows
operator to accurately set amperage
on both 115 or 230 V primary power.
Inverter-based, DC power
source has a simple-to-use
operator interface providing
only the necessary controls in
a compact machine.

Power source is warranted for 3 years, parts and labor.
Original main power rectifiers are warranted for 5 years.
Auto-Line
provides state-of-the-art
flexibility to the end user. The
Auto-Line circuitry automatically
connects to 115–230 VAC, single-
phase power without removing the
covers to relink the power source.
No longer is there a concern if you
have the correct machine for the
shop or job site.
Adaptive Hot Start
for Stick arc
starts automatically increases the
output amperage at the start of a
weld should the start require it.
Prevents the electrode from
sticking and creating an inclusion.
Low OCV Stick is a simple design
that reduces the open-circuit
voltage to 12–16 volts when the
welding power source is not in use.
This circuit design is now built into
the Maxstar 150 S eliminating the
need for add-on voltage reducers.
Miller’s exclusive
multi-voltage
plug (MVP
)
allows connection
to 115 or 230 V
receptacles
without tools—
choose the plug that fits the receptacle
and connect it to the power cord.
